Vollständige Überlieferung von den Ufern der Flüsse
Ein Klassiker der chinesischen Literatur – erstmals vollständig übersetzt
by Rainald Simon, Rainald Simon, Rainald Simon
Dies ist die erste originalgetreue, ungekürzte Übersetzung der Vollständigen Überlieferung von den Ufern der Flüsse (水滸全傳), einem der vier großen Klassiker der alten chinesischen Literatur. Der Roman spielt zur Zeit der Sòng-Dynastie (960-1279). 107 Männer und eine Frau um ihren Anführer Sòng Jiāng bilden den verschworenen Bund von den »Flachseen am Brückenberg«, in dem sie sich gegen Korruption und krasse Willkür der Herrschenden zur Wehr setzen. Ihr Leitstern sind dabei traditionelle Werte des Neokonfuzianismus wie der grundsätzlich wohlwollende und fürsorgliche Umgang aller Menschen miteinander – was erbitterte kriegerische Auseinandersetzungen zu deren Durchsetzung nicht ausschließt. Der Roman besticht durch seinen Handlungs- und Personenreichtum und die naturalistischen Schilderungen gesellschaftlicher Umstände während der Sòng und ausgehenden Yuán-Zeit, wie Ess- und Trinkkultur, urbanes Leben, Wohnung, Familienbeziehungen, aber auch Kriegsführung, das Geschlechterverhältnis, Hierarchien, Gepflogenheiten in den Gefängnissen. Lyrische Passagen von mitreißender Bildkraft beschwören Natureindrücke oder vergegenwärtigen die zentrale Bedeutung von Kleidung als Ausdruck von Schönheit und Rang. Auf rund 2000 Seiten ist hier der chinesische Originaltext so getreu wie möglich und dabei gut lesbar übertragen. Sachkundige Kommentare und umfassende Erläuterungen des gesamten historischen, daoistischen, buddhistischen, neokonfuzianischen Kontextes und Bildreservoirs ergänzen die weitverzweigte Handlung.

Unstable universalities
Poststructuralism and radical politics
by Saul Newman, Simon Tormey, Jon Simons, Chantal Hamil
Unstable universalities, available for the first time in paperback, examines the theme of universality and its place in radical political theory. Saul Newman argues that both Marxist politics of class struggle and the postmodern politics of difference have reached their historical and political limits, and that what is needed is a new approach to universality, a new way of thinking about collective politics. By exploring various themes and ideas within poststructuralist and post-Marxist theory, the book develops a new and original approach to universality - one that has important implications for politics today, particularly on questions of power, subjectivity, ethics and democracy. In so doing, it engages in debates with thinkers such as Laclau, Zizek, Badiou and Rancière over the future of radical politics. It also applies important theoretical insights to contemporary events such as the emergence of the anti-globalisation movement, the 'war on terrorism', the rise of anti-immigrant racism, and the nihilistic violence which lurks at the margins of the political. ;

Governing Europe's spaces
European Union re-imagined
by Dimitris Papadimitriou, Caitriona Carter, Martin Lawn, Simon Bulmer, Andrew Geddes, Peter Humphreys
What do we imagine when we imagine Europe and the European Union? To what extent is our understanding of the EU - of its development, its policies and its working processes - shaped by unacknowledged assumptions about what Europe really is? The book constructs a case for re-imagining Europe - not as an entity in Brussels or a series of fixed relations - but as a simultaneously real and imagined space of action which exists to the extent that Europeans and others act in and on it. This Europe is constantly being made in particular spaces, through specific actor struggles, whose interconnections are often ill-defined. We ask how do those concerned with building Europe, with extending and elaborating the EU, think of where they are and what they are doing? The book captures Europeans in the process of making Europe: of performing, interpreting, modelling, referencing, consulting, measuring and de-politicising Europe. ;

EU enlargement, the clash of capitalisms and the European social dimension
by Paul Copeland, Dimitris Papadimitriou, Simon Bulmer, Andrew Geddes, Peter Humphreys
At the heart of the European integration process is the political economy debate over whether the EU should be a market-making project, or if it should combine this with integration in employment and social policy. What has been the impact of the 2004 and 2007 rounds of enlargement upon the political economy of European integration? EU enlargement, the clash of capitalisms and the European social dimension analyses the impact of the 2004 and 2007 enlargements upon the politics of European integration within EU employment and social policy. This book analyses the main policy negotiations in the field and analyses the political positions and contributions of the Central and Eastern European Member States. Through analyses of the negotiations of the Services Directive, the revision of the Working Time Directive and the Europe 2020 poverty target, the book argues that the addition of the Central and Eastern European states has strengthened liberal forces at the EU level and undermined integration with EU employment and social policy. ;

Claude Simon
Adventures in Words
by Alastair B. Duncan
Introducing novels by the Nobel Prize for Literature author, Claude Simon, this text gives emphasis to peaks in his literary achievement: "The Flanders Road" (1960), "The Georgics" (1981) and "The Acacia" (1989). Alastair Duncan traces the development and recurrence of major themes, such as war, time and memory, and the constantly renewed inventiveness of Simon's manner. Duncan illustrates and comments on the various critical approaches which have been made to the novels over the years, from phenomenological interpretations, through structuralism to the autobiographical and psychobiographical approaches of the 1980s and 1990s. The text includes a chapter on Simon's most recent works ("Le Jardin des Plantes" 1997 and "Le Tramway" 2001).
